Allison + Justin : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

November 21, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It all began with a match on Bumble and led to a Cinderella Castle proposal at Walt Disney World! Justin may have not taken his first trip to Walt Disney World until 2018, but he’s a Disney kid at heart and can even give Allison a run for her money in Disney trivia! Allison and Justin are two of the most fun, fit, and friendly people we’ve ever met and it was an absolute honor to have a small part in their best day ever. :)

Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

September 17, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

Each table had a subtle nod to a fairy tale. <3

Katie + Shane : Wedding at the Grand Floridian’s Wedding Pavilion and Whitehall Room

July 19, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Katie was a freshman and Shane a senior when they met in their high school’s drama club. After Shane graduated college, he moved back to the area, reconnected with Katie, and the rest is history!

Born in Melbourne but raised in Pennsylvania, Katie remains a Florida girl at heart with a strong love for Disney. It was after their first trip here together that a Disney wedding seemed inevitable, and after 3 long years of saving every penny possible, their dream came true.

It’s always special seeing a bride enter the Wedding Pavilion when we know it’s been her dreams forever, but Katie had never gotten the chance to see her dream venue in person! I could feel her goosebumps when her wedding planner opened the doors to the chapel and she started her walk down the aisle! :)

Huge thanks to our friendor team for making this such a great day!!

Wedding Planner Extraordinaire: Pamela
Venue(s): Wedding Pavilion, followed by the Whitehall Ballroom & Patio
Videographer: Trinity Wedding Cinema
DJ: DJ JW Jaeger
Officiant: Reverend Kevin Knox
Hair & Makeup: A Touch Of Fierce

We set our alarms for 4:30am for Katie’s day. This sunrise made the eye bags so worth it. <3

Best thing about Disney weddings? The reactions when my favorite rodents arrive! <3

We met back up that night for their Illuminations dessert party! Only two more of these for us before this show ends and I’m already crying just thinking about it!

Katie and Shane, thank you SO much for having us!!! Happy honeymoon!!!! <3
